About: Rustic Umbrian Apple Roll ~ La Rocciata   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

A favorite fall/winter dessert at our farmhouse is la rocciata - a rustic apple roll stuffed with pine nuts, walnuts, cinnamon and golden raisins. Don't me mislead - the translation (the rock) has little to do with the consistency of the dough (as it is actually very light and flaky) but more to do with the word for 'round' in dialect. It is very similar to a strudel (and may even originate from it)-but better! To really enjoy this spicy flaky treat buy a bottle of vin santo (wine of the saints or holy wine) and dunk your pieces in this rich woody-smokey dessert wine.

It is very similar to a strudel (and may even originate from it)-but better! La rocciata may be most well known as a dish from our neighbors in Umbria. (Here's a fun fact- if you look across the 'street' from our farmhouse there is literally an island of Umbria in our front yard!) And since we love to share the little know recipes of our area, we'll let it slide this isn't traditionally known as Marchigiano - because it's just so delicious and simple! (Don't let the long ingredient list turn you off - half of it you just toss into the food processor.)
